Eight week visual art course
Starts Weds 7 October – 25 November

Led by Dr Patricia Allmer, Curator of Angels of Anarchy and MIRIAD Research Fellow, this course focuses on the most influential 20th century art movement - Surrealism.

In its quest to seek out the marvellous in the everyday, Surrealism did not restrict itself to being an art movement; it was influential on, and heavily involved with a variety of visual cultures, ranging from film and photography to fashion and advertising. This course will explore these surrealist manifestations and will cover an international range of well-known and less famous Surrealist artists.

The course will include an optional curator-led guided tour of the exhibition. (Please note that the entrance fee for Angels of Anarchy is not included in the course fee.)

Beginners' level, no prior knowledge required.
